The below 20mpg thread

[slevin911]

As things seem to have gone dull in the GG section lately I was hoping the people of PH could cheer me up and post pics of your cars that do below 20 mpg.thanks all

[SlimRick]

I could post a picture of my old knackered 2.0 Audi estate - I'd be lucky to get 20mpg but I don't quite think that's what you're looking for

Who needs 20mpg+ when you can wake up in the morning and say to yourself "I own a V12!"

Perfect! we need more of this,everyone should have your attitude!

[Baryonyx]

Day to day it probably did between 21-23mpg. Pushing on, somewhat less!

edit....forgot a picture, from one of my local roads

Have two

The 7 is mine, the 928 is my mates and they did a fine job of taking us to the N24, keeping up with traffic on the Autobahn

I had this engine in an XJ12 S111. I used it for the 3 mile station run during one winter. Never came off the choke - 7 MPG !!!

Thanks lads some cracking cars ye have!

TVR usually starts with a 2, so is excluded. Lexus, 17-19.

My ZT quite happily gets under 20mpg, and sounding like it does I'm happy for it to do so

fully agree, mine used to like 15 Mpg

[TheLordJohn]

I don't care how much fuel the Jag needs, I just put fuel in it, then drive it, then fill it up again when it needs it. I'd rather waft along with a petrol v12, than a 1.9 DERV. Or 2.5 etc etc.

The first day I had this on the road I averaged 14mpg

[crazy about cars]

Averaging 18-19mpg although to be fair its mostly urban commute... seen 25ish on the motorway but was driving @ 70 or less most of the time...

The XJR on the way to Le Mans:



And some more sub 20mpg cars we saw in Amsterdam
